One of my favorite things to do is look for outfit inspiration from magazines as well as my fellow bloggers. They always have great ideas on how to put together pieces and usually at a budget friendly price point. Because I refuse to pay full price for anything including "budget friendly" options I usually end up with a very looong wish list of things that I want.

Well this weekend I was lucky enough to find some great deals on two items that I have been lusting after. The first are these from Nine West.

I first saw these shoes on the blog Saucy Glossie and fell in love. Check out how she styled them here and here. Now when I first saw these shoes they were priced at 89.99 which was a bit above my Nine West budget. (I don't think I have ever paid more than $50 bucks for a pair of their shoes). So while I was online window shopping this morning and discovered that they were on clearance and an additional 40% off I couldn't resist. I went ahead and bought two pairs. I just love the colors. It will be a bit of challenge to come up with some weather appropriate outfits for these in the next few weeks but lucky for me I have a few warm weather trips planned in a my future. I am also pretty sure I will find a way to fit them into my Spring/Summer 2013 looks.

The second pair is from Crocs. YES!! I wear crocs. Not sure why everyone is soo surprised by this.

Both The Stylish Housewife and Love Maegan have featured these on their blog. Check out how they styled them here and here. Crocs is offering 25% off site wide (use code 25FAMILY) so I was able to get these for under 40 bucks. These will definitely get a lot of use especially around the holiday season when wearing comfy shoes is a must.

I am soo excited about my purchases and am excited to put together outfits to share with everyone.
